242 – Summer. festival. Fireworks #17
I felt someone pressing on my chest.
Rather than pressing it, it feels like it is being beaten as if it will be smashed.
Puck, puck puck-.
sick.
No, it’s not just painful, it hurts a lot.
I’ll break all my ribs.
But strangely, the body did not move.
My body feels heavy, as if hundreds of wet blankets were placed on my arms and legs.
“Spirit—.”
“Apparently——public breathing—.”
I heard people chattering.
It seems like a pretty serious situation.
I wish I could hear more about what you’re talking about.
So when I concentrated, my body seemed to feel a little lighter.
Consciousness, which seemed to have sunk in the depths, rises rapidly like a balloon floating on the surface of the water. So when I opened my heavy eyelids, what I saw in front of me was slightly parted lips.
The lips are coming towards me.
“What.”
“What, what, what!”
match-.
someone slaps me on the cheek
The cheek tingled at the sudden hit.
Thanks to that, my mind was lightened.
“Really, it’s like a star.”
Megaira turned her head, which had been pushed close to my face, to the side, exasperated.
When I stood up and wondered what the situation was, Alecto said softly.
“Unconscious… . artificial respiration… .”
“So Megaira tried to give me artificial respiration because I was unconscious.”
nod
Alecto nodded, and I vaguely understood the situation.
The fact that my chest hurt as if it were about to be smashed must have been due to some form of CPR.
Whether it was because of that or because I was slapped on the cheek, I was able to regain consciousness.
It would be nice to say thank you to everyone.
“Thanks to that, I was able to come to my senses. So, what happened? You seem to have come to your senses earlier than me. I would like you to tell me the situation that you roughly grasped.”
I looked around.
What I saw was a landscape full of all kinds of junk under the rising full moon. Was it around midnight?
The objects around him had no regularity, such as trees, small rocks, broken temple pillars and horseless chariots. Also, is that a cabin?
“I’d like to go in there first. A place with a roof is better than an open place.”
I went into the cabin with everyone.
It was a very old hut, but the inside was more comfortable than expected, and there were chairs and tables.
“Alecto, this cabin… .”
“… … .”
Megaira and Alecto seemed to have noticed something.
However, there is not much that is said by mouth.
Because they have so many secrets.
However, I seemed to have a rough idea of how things were going.
This is probably Enio’s shadow.
Enio usually used his shadow as an inventory to carry items. Maybe this is the world in the shadows, I thought.
“I didn’t expect there to be a cabin like this.”
You put everything in it.
While I was slightly admiring it, Megaira held something in her hand.
It was a small brooch.
Brooch in the shape of a yellow flower.
“this… . It must have been missing when I was 7 years old… . It’s the brooch that Aidan gave me as a gift. why is this here… ? I tried so hard and finally gave up… .”
Megaira seemed puzzled that her missing object was in Enio’s shadow.
“Here is my teddy bear. I thought I lost this too. what? I have my comb too. I have my shoes too. this is mine again… .”
I’m just answering lightly.
“It looks like Enio took it. or stolen.”
“… what? steal? you, be careful Enio-sama is not the kind of person who would do such a thing! Are you saying Enio stole my stuff because he lacked something?”
“yes. hit that Enio doesn’t steal things, but instead drives people into his shadow. As you all know, perhaps we are trapped in Enio’s shadow.”
“… … .”
Megara shut her mouth.
And then he looked like he didn’t understand.
“Sleepy.”
Then Alecto said lightly.
Then he lay down on the bed and pulled the blanket over his head.
“what.”
When I was puzzled, Megaira said.
“Alecto was on duty to watch Enio-sama from last night until this morning. You look tired. We’d better leave it to sleep for now and find a way out by ourselves.”
“I get it.”
I answered seriously.
This wasn’t the first time I’d been caught in Enio’s shadow.
Originally, when you fight “Black Star – Black Star” that appears at the end of the Black Star route, the battlefield is reversed and you enter a dungeon where you must escape.
In other words.
Enio’s shadow was a kind of ‘dungeon’.
I thought you would come here already.
If my predictions are correct, the escape method should be the same.
The way out is simple.
If you just look around, there is an exit.
However, now that there are variables in many ways, it would be good to have a contingency plan in case escape is impossible in that way.
Also, I wish I could get some “Star Fragments” that can only be obtained in this dungeon.
can i find it
– Tweet.
Then I heard a bird chirping somewhere.
Then, Alecto, who had fallen asleep covered with the blanket, kicks off and wakes up.
“The sound just now. It’s a sparrow.”
* * *
Me and Megara had to follow Alecto as he abruptly got up and started running somewhere.
As we walked along the walls and streets made of all sorts of junk, we found a strange bird cage before we knew it.
Inside is a sparrow smaller than the palm of your hand.
“Sparrow.”
Alecto liked looking into the cage.
It’s the same with Mega.
“This guy was in here. I thought it disappeared forever… . I never thought that Enio-sama raised her in the shadows… .”
I asked.
“What is he?”
“This is the sparrow that Enio-sama secretly hid and raised by herself when she was young. It was a bird that followed people better than I thought. disappeared at some point from a moment… .”
indeed.
It’s Enio’s old pet, so this is it.
Dalgak.
Alecto unhooked the cage.
Then, a sparrow flies into the cage with the door open.
Spinning around us, Megaira saw it and said,
“You think you’re grateful?”
Porg.
A sparrow flying somewhere soon.
“I’ll follow you.”
I decided to follow such a sparrow.
Why, it is said that animals in caves or cramped places first notice a crisis and run away to the exit. Maybe the sparrow knows how to escape Enio’s shadow.
Paddling, paddling.
In fact, sparrows would fly ahead of us as if to lead us somewhere, but if we fell behind, they would sit nearby, tidying up their beaks and feathers, waiting for us.
“He’s not as smart as Kyeongkong, but he’s a smart guy.”
It was when I admired a little.
Megaira and Alecto stopped somewhere.
“Hey, this is… .”
Confused Megara.
Alecto didn’t say anything either, but his expression was very hard.
“Do you know where?”
I asked.
What I see in front of me is a building made of stones and tiles.
To be precise… , I don’t think it’s an ordinary building, and I think it would be better to describe it as a shrine. It is a shrine with statues of Buddha.
But.
What was here was more of the opposite than a Buddha statue.
There was a god statue with its head cut off.
The way he was sitting cross-legged looked very disrespectful.
“Hey, this is… .”
Megaira begins to tremble.
As I closed my eyes, I couldn’t help but ask.
“Tell me what you are doing.”
Then, Megara sighed and said as if comforting herself, “It has already passed. It’s already past,” he muttered.
“This is a temple that was located near the main Black Star. I don’t know why the entire temple was in Enio’s shadow… .”
“I guess that’s not all I have to say.”
“The sparrow flew away. The day I was playing in the winter forest as usual. However, there was a valley that we had never seen before. I followed it all the way and found this shrine.”
-Tit!
is it an old story?
Since Enio raised sparrows, it must have been around the age of five.
“At the shrine, the mischievous young lady Enio damaged the golden rope hanging near the frightening statue of the god. After that… .”
“Since then, Enio has ceased to be Enio- can we say that? I must have acted out of the ordinary and injured or lost more people around me.”
Megara seemed surprised for a moment.
I’m just answering lightly.
“Don’t underestimate the Arcwright family’s spying skills.”
Actually, I know it because I heard it in the game to some extent.
anyway.
I understand that this is the starting point of the tragedy that is happening to Enio.
Sssss-.

Just then, a chilly wind blew from somewhere.
When I turned my head, figures drawn in black ink were crawling towards us on all fours.
They are the specters of shadows made of darkness.
——–!
They made a terrible noise.
I only shouted as I drew my sword from my waistband.
“For now, hold on.”
months.
As he swung his sword, three or four ghosts disappeared at once.
It was fortunate that the durability itself was weak.
There are so many of them that it is very difficult to deal with.
“There are too many. There is no end.”
In the end, the three of us were cornered at thirteen.
A large number of shadow specters were swarming around as if the tide was pushing in.
“… … .”
It was time to think of ways to overcome this situation in many ways.
Fang-!
I heard something explode.
Soon there was a loud explosion and something colored the sky red.
“Signal flare… ?”
As Megaira said, it was a signal flare rising into the sky.
Under the red light, the shadow specters struggle as if they are in great pain, then start banging their heads.
Then someone shouted from far away.
“This way! hurry!”
It was a familiar voice.
We wondered why this voice was coming from here, but we thought we couldn’t stay still like this, so we ran quickly.
There was a candle in the place where I ran away from all kinds of junk and ghosts.
Many candles are burning… , It was a large space as if someone had written letters with candles to propose.
Inside was Enio.
“Shadows cannot enter this far. Because I hate bright lights. Anyway, it’s okay if you’re here. Rather, what happened to everyone?”
“I would like to ask. Enio, I hope you can explain what the hell is going on.”
Enio looked around at my words.
Then he said little.
“Body… , was taken away. I shouldn’t have recklessly listened to the voice in the mirror. I tried to escape somehow… .”
Enio trembled in shock.
He immediately looked at us and grabbed my arm.
“But I’m glad you guys came! Viktor-kun, you’re here to save me! Because you promised to rescue me anytime, anywhere!”
